I've had the YH-J70 black 20gb for nearly a year now and although I really like the player it's never worked perfectly. It recently stopped playing WMA files after a firmware upgrade I downloaded from their website. The player was returned to me today and WMAs play fine.

However, I also asked them to fix the problem that I have whereby if I listen to a stereo FM broadcast (definately stereo - it says so on the display and sounds stereo) and press the red button to record it, when I listen back to the recording it is in mono.

Samsung told me this was wrong, however they have not fixed it and on the returned player, stereo broadcasts are still recording in mono.

Anyone else have this player ? Do your FM stereo recordings playback in stereo or mono ?

If it works this way with everyone I guess I'll live with it but if anyone elses' recordings are in stereo, I'll send it back to them.
